CCG (Scotland), a CIOB training partner, has welcomed 10 new trade apprentices, reaffirming its dedication to the next generation of skilled professionals in the Scottish construction sector.
This intake brings the number of apprentices employed across CCG’s group of companies to 48.
Based in Glasgow, CCG (Scotland) is one of the country’s largest construction and manufacturing group. It is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024.
The company, which employs 730 staff, has long been recognised for its commitment to skills development, maintaining an annual commitment to provide apprenticeship opportunities and shape the careers of young tradespeople for over 30 years.
The new recruits, aged between 17 and 18, will undertake a four-year industry-recognised programme to become qualified plumbers, joiners, electricians and heating engineers.
They will undertake a mix of practical onsite learning with CCG’s Main Construction and Asset Management divisions, as well as M&E subsidiary company, Arc-Tech (Scotland), and lecture-based theory at colleges including South Lanarkshire College , Glasgow Kelvin College and West College Scotland.
CCG managing director David Wylie said: “I am delighted to welcome our 10 new recruits to the CCG family. Over the next four years they will acquire invaluable skills that will serve them throughout their careers, thanks to hands-on experience on some of the country’s most innovative and pioneering construction projects.
“Despite the significant pressures in the affordable housing market, our commitment to training young people remains. Our focus on skills development must go hand in hand with support for the affordable sector to secure employment for future generations.”
Ten trainees are also in full-time employment in specialisms including quantity surveying, estimating and business administration.
